It was another rocky day for Canada’s main stock index that ultimately ended up in the green thanks to a lead powered by the tech sector on Friday. This comes just after the TSX had hit a high not seen in seven months. Gains were stifled by losses among mining, financial, telecom, and utilities shares.

US markets were split as traders digested a key inflation reading that hinted at softening demand, but also economic resiliency. All eyes look to next week’s Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting.
